        I've seen this  (using  the  diagnostic  7  hack) posted several
    times,  and indeed, it appears in a DSNlink article as one  possible
    work around for the problem (see "After V6.2 Upgrade  Queue  Journal
    File Grows for No Reason" in the OpenVMS database).

        However, it  seems  more  appropriate  to  refer  people  to the
    correct  code which is freely available from ftp.service.digital.com
    as ALPQMAN040_070 and VAXQMAN03_070 for VMS versions 6.1 through 7.0
    on Alpha and 5.5-2 through 7.0 in VAX.
